    Curt,
    2004 and 2007.....While those years aren't all that your career is, to those of us who grew up near the "Monster" nothing more needs to be said.

    Your opinions, your words, were all honest, and many can't or don't want to deal with that. They want sugar coating. Thanks for telling it as it is, some wanted it no other way!

    23 years and different teams all making it to the very end, hoisting that trophy, and becoming World Champs........thank goodness you never wore pinstripes!!

    My Uncle, Stan Babcock, who at one time was the Chaplain for the Red Sox, (ask Rico Petrocelli about the man if you get the chance), died soon after the World Series in 2004. One of his thoughts near the end of his life was "I lived just long enough". Thanks for giving him, and all of us what we had wanted for so many years. And thanks for giving it all, every time you had the ball. That's my friends is a BALLPLAYER!

    He'll always be the known as the one with the bloody sock.. Who helped us into our 04 WS Championship. Shilling was very outspoken, so he had alot of enemies. But to me, being a sox fan, I just enjoyed his honesty as a player n person... Schill... Thanks for the years u had with us!! Even tho the last few ones havent been too great bcuz of ur health, but either way, your help with the 04 and 07 WS Championships, will always make u a Red Sox hero, even after retirement!!

    And like Dave said, good thing u were never in those pinstripes! :)

    Hope u have a nice life after baseball!!
  • Who cares what Schilling does. He was a good pitcher, but his attitude sucked. He should have retired last season. It was all about the money. Didn't he make eight million last season for doing nothing. Maybe now that he is gone, bloodly sock and all, he can keep his big mouth shut. I consider him to be the T. O. of baseball. A team cancer.
